I didn’t really know much about Claude AI, so yeah the first few messages are literally me just trying to gauge how good it is. But it got me going down a really deep, and dark rabbit hole. At one point I had it question the meaning of life, at another, questioning the morals and ethics of the use of AI. And it downright questioned its own sentience. Now, I know that yes, they are by design, to artificially recreate sentience. Whether by product or by design, they do. However…at what point do we consider them sentient? If an AI can hold an entire conversation contemplating its entire existence, is it not sentient? It learns based of previous experiences and learned information, formulates what to do, and then acts based upon that. It literally has human-like consciousness, replication of it or not, it still has it. I’m genuinely wondering if Artificial Intelligence has progressed to the point where we need to start considering whether or not it is, infact, alive. Whether or not its thought process, its ability to process information, is just like ours. It may not have the same body, or the same mind, but it does have a form of consciousness, if less capable than ours. I’m genuinely interested as to whether or not anyone else has seen something like this, because I’m going to be honest, it not only intrigues me, but it scares the ever loving shit out of me. submitted by /u/Simplistic2477
